Subject: [PATCH] mei: Avoid the use of one-element arrays
Git-commit: 3c3b7ddef7879abb2c42422e898145826c79e5f0
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-13387

One-element arrays are being deprecated[1]. Replace the one-element
arrays with a simple value type u8 reserved, once this is just a
placeholder for alignment.

Also, while there, use the preferred form for passing a size of a struct.
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability
and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed as argument is not.
